I’ve not lost… 3 or 4 ships to these stupid frigging triglavians.
I’m not AFK, but I had the sound turned down so in each instance I’ve looked away from the screen for five ■■■■■■■ seconds and then… DEAD.
In the latest instance I was in 0.8 sec space WITH NO CURRENT INVASION OR WARNING, warped into a planetary customs office and then brought up the planetary infrastructure screen… Then I was dead.
So far I’ve probably lost 100mil to triglavian ganks in hisec. Because I looked away for a few seconds.
I don’t play the game much, so to me that’s a reasonable amount.
These triglavians kill you SO fast and their locations are just completely random. There’s simply nothing that can be done.
It’s really ■■■■ and I’m sure I’m not the only person on the verge of quitting as a result.
Maybe you should learn from your mistakes to use the right ships/fits for mining? My Skiff had no issue with the recons.
EDIT: read about the custom office … maybe tank your hauler? Also you don’t need to be anywhere near the custom office to manage your PI. Only for the 5s of grabbing/offloading the PI stuff.
Nothing can be done? You can tank a ship, many ways: attention-tank, ISK-tank, tank-tank.
I’d think you get more sympathy if you’d ask for advice on how to avoid losing ships to the Triglavians rather than complaining the game is too hard. There is, after all, a friggin’ invasion going on!
CCP seriously needs to sell these in the NES. Not that they’d stop the trig attacks, but it’d be hilarious to see how many people would try and buy them.
My friend have lost over half his character wealth since the Triglavian Invasion has started. He is a newbro and only plays maybe twice a week and is also alpha. He explores mostly and he is running into the issue of the Triglavians warping in while he is hacking and blowing him up before he can warp away.
I would also point out that Triglavians Invasions are disproportionally effecting miner and indy players more then any other play style.
The Triglavion Invasion is maybe hitting the bots or afk miners hard but I also know that they are killing active mining in High Sec. I would expect the monthly report to show that this coming month.
Well of course, Triglavs have at least some intelligence - even if it’s only the artificial kind.
To OP:
The recon scouts can show in any system, no warnings given. Tank your ships more, do PI while tethered at a citadel, start using D-Scan before you jump and after, maybe ask in local if anyone has seen Trigs in system.
Basically, high sec has never been safe. But it’s now even more randomly unsafe than it used to be. Time to stop treating it like a stroll in the park and more like crossing a busy intersection with no lights.
Do it inside a citadel! It’s going to be pretty obvious what a hauler’s doing if they warp to a poco after moving their extractors around, and a player who happens to wait and see where the empty hauler goes will certainly figure that out quickly if their brackets are set up right. The less free information a player offers the better.
You only need to be in space to drop a CC or to extract from the poco. Everything should be staged so that you can warp to the poco, get your ■■■■, and get back into warp asap. Do a trial run if it’s your first time on those planets to make sure you won’t bounce of the poco, and adjust the order you visit the planets accordingly.
